A number of new Grand Theft Auto Online mods allow players to participate in Squid Game-style challenges. Rockstar Games’ open-world multiplayer title launched in 2013, while Netflix’s South Korean survival drama just recently aired on the streaming platform. While the popular title is no stranger to third-party software and mods, many GTAOnline mods have been shut down over the past year due to an abundance of cheaters plaguing the title.

Netflix’s newest original smash hit, Squid Game, sees financially struggling citizens invited to participate in a mysterious series of games – seemingly innocent games – that turn out to be lethal. While a massive cash reward is offered, each game also has deadly consequences for those unable to complete its challenge. The series has found great success since its launch on September 17, and many viewers now strive to recreate the experience safely through video games. Squid Game has been compared to Mario Party, with players competing to survive different mini-games; though, luckily, the Nintendo series does not have fatal consequences for losers.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

A report from GamesRadar shows off several fan-made Grand Theft Auto Online mods which recreate the terrifying games in Squid Game. Many of these servers focus on the show’s “Red Light, Green Light” challenge, which appears in the very first episode. Some player-made maps recreate the show’s terrifying battlefield, complete with its large, iconic and unsettling animatronic doll. Other servers simply use GTA Online‘s base map, with one player using a microphone to bark orders while allies armed with machine guns shoot anyone who fails to follow them. YouTuber Vadact uploaded a video demonstrating one of the more in-depth Squid Game servers that fans have created, which includes a number of the show’s deadly games.

Grand Theft Auto players constantly strive to create original mod experiences, sometimes using GTA Online as a platform. Some mods even allow other beloved video game franchises to cross over with Rockstar Games’ crime series, just as Squid Game did. One particularly popular creation is a GTA V Mortal Kombat mod which allows Scorpion and Sub-Zero to face off over a cheating wife. This humorous video nonetheless shows off how flexible GTA V and Online can be, with creative modders implementing various original concepts.

Squid Game has been an extremely popular release for Netflix, with the intense thriller bursting its way into popular culture. It makes sense that the popular and violent title would be a perfect match for Grand Theft Auto Online, particularly due to the game’s modding community. Those who want to partake in Squid Game‘s disturbing rendition of Red Light/Green Light, and its other life-threatening challenges, can now do so safely within the virtual world of Grand Theft Auto Online.

Grand Theft Auto Online is available on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC.
